In a recent Instagram post, the talented actor addressed the rumors head-on and expressed his surprise at the notion that he would feel excluded from the revival project.

"I usually don't respond to this kind of thing. And I do know that people like drama and gossip… but this article by Samantha Ibrahim is absolute nonsense. Just thought you'd like to know," Noth stated alongside a screenshot of a New York Post report.

The actor's response comes after rumors began circulating that he was feeling left out and excluded from the camaraderie that characterized the original series following his sexual misconduct scandal.

According to sources who spoke with Radar Online, Noth expressed his belief that his former castmates owe him an apology for what he perceives as "rude behavior" he endured.

"He's not invited to their parties. He doesn't get greeting cards or happy birthday texts," the source said. "He wonders why SJP and her troupe continue to leave him out in the cold."

The insider went on to add that the "Law & Order" alum feels "slighted" for how they treated him, especially because he wasn't charged with a crime.

The "Equalizer" actor was accused of sexual misconduct one week after the first installment of "And Just Like That" aired, per The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the news outlet, two women, pseudonymously identified as Zoe and Lily, accused Noth of sexual misconduct. The two women, who reportedly do not know each other and approached the publication separately, revealed that seeing promotions for the sequel series brought back painful memories of what allegedly occurred in Los Angeles in 2004 and New York in 2015, respectively.

Zoe alleged that Noth invited her and a friend to the pool at his apartment in 2004, where he "kissed" and "raped her from behind" as she screamed at him to stop.

"He didn't. I said, 'Can you at least get a condom?' and he laughed at me," she claimed, adding that she had blood on her shirt afterward.

Lily, on her part, claimed that she met the actor in 2015 at a nightclub where she worked as a server.

"I was truly star-struck," she said. "He was hitting on me, for sure. I was flattered. I knew he was married, which is shameful of me to admit."

"He tried to make out with me. I cautiously entertained it. He's older and looked older. He kept trying and trying and trying, and I should have said no more firmly and left. And then the next thing I knew, he pulled down his pants, and he was standing in front of me," Lily added.

She noted that she brought his marriage up, but he didn't budge, "He said marriage is a sham. Monogamy is not real. … He was having sex with me from the back in a chair. We were in front of a mirror. I was kind of crying as it happened."

In response to the sexual misconduct allegations leveled against him, Noth released a statement asserting that the encounters in question were consensual, per US Weekly. The actor categorically denied any wrongdoing.

"The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could've been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross," he told the news outlet in a statement on December 16, 2021.

He added, "The encounters were consensual. It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women."
